Bug Description
When opening an image that is "medium sized", but still much smaller than screen resolution, eog sizes its window initially slightly too small, causing scaling and consequently smoothing to be applied to the image. This makes "crisp" images like figures, diagrams etc. look unnecessarily blurred (and bad) at first sight. Increasing eog window size a little fixes it so that the image is displayed 1:1 (pixel perfect). Pressing Ctrl+0 also fixes the initial sizing of the image.
I see no way to turn off "Best fit" option by default in prefs. That would probably fix it for smaller images, but is unpractical for larger ones, where scaling is desireable.
Attached source image and screenshot of initial eog window (untouched) shows the problem. My screen resolution is 1920x1200 and the source image is 640x480, so it should not have been scaled by eog on first display.

Original source image that makes scaling easily visible.
